I was planning to join the military after high school. It was a 3 hour drive to the closest MEPS (military entrance processing station), so the local recruiters only made the trip out there once a week. I already had my date set when another guy dropped out, so my recruiter asked if I was interested in going a week earlier. I said absolutely, because I was dead et on being in the Army, so what difference did one more week make?

The owner hurt the dog by walking it without a leash and not having enough control over it to keep it from running into traffic. It speaks to your good character that you feel guilt over what happened, but you are not responsible and should not beat yourself up over it.
The need to make everything into a competition or to one-up any story or anecdote.

I don’t remember specifically, but it would have been something on my uncle’s Atari 2600 in the late '80s…probably Dig Dug or Pitfall.

I am fairly below average, apparently.

I don’t like convicted rapist Steven van de Velde.
My Hotmail account, which I’ve had since high school. Oldest email in there is from 2002, but I think I opened it up in 2000.
I think what you’re experiencing is people here being less tolerant of your assholery.
No can do, high crimes aren’t against the law.
Man, that’s horrible…better make sure “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is on the list to get removed.
I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.
